bird list to date : Scops Owl arrived last night ( march 28th) The Eurasian Scops Owl is migratory. The most part of the European population migrates in autumn and reaches inland Africa in a single flight, maybe close to the Sahara. It likes the vicinity of humans. Redstarts / blackheads redstarts arrived mid march – one pair bread in our garden last summer and I think the parents are still here
